Glenn Beck’s Radio Contract Worth $20 M. Per Year

Glenn Beck’s Mercury Radio Arts has re-upped with syndication partner Premiere Networks in a deal that will pay Mr. Beck a staggering $100 M. over five years, reports The New York Times.It’s a significant bump from his previous contract, worth $10 million a year.

A talk radio fixture for about a decade, Mr. Beck left Fox News last year to start his paywall protected streaming network, GBTV. “The Glenn Beck Program” is syndicated to hundreds of stations by Premiere (owned by Clear Channel), making it a highly rated marketing opportunity for Mr. Beck’s other ventures. Premiere also sells advertising for some of Mr. Beck’s sites.
